5:29 am
boys sexually assaulted her. photos were taken and then posted online. they were seen by several students at saratoga high. days later, audrie wrote on her facebook page, the whole school knows. my life is ruined now. >> she was just absolutely humiliated. she must have felt tortured and she decided to end her life as a result of all these things coming together. >> a detention hearing will take place for the boys early next week. the boys have not been charged with a crime. two of the three attend saratoga high. the third goes to christopher high in gilroy. now, audrie's parents did not find out until after their daughter's death. they want the trio of boys prosecuted as adults. the district attorney's office is not making any official comments because the case involves minors. live in san jose, marla tallez, "today in the bay."

"today in the bay's" tracie potts joins us on capitol hill. >> reporter: we have been hearing from secretary of state, kerry, from south korea. he held a joint news conference this morning with the foreign minister after meeting south korea's president. secretary kerry with some tough talk for north korea's leaders saying we are going to defend our allies. this rhetoric is unacceptable. this is an already volatile, potentially dangerous situation. these threats of a missile test, possible nuclear threats coming from north korea. when it comes to north korea's nuclear capability, there was a report quoted here on capitol hill yesterday suggesting that they had the capability to put a
5:40 am
nuclear warhead on one of those missiles that they may be testing. kerry said this morning that a fully test developed demonstrated nuclear systems not the case. inaccurate to report that he said this morning. now, in addition to visiting south korea where his aim is to reassure our allies, he will also be in japan and china. china is going to be key. the u.s. is trying to lean on china to lean on north korea to end this whole situation. laura, jon? thank you very much. it is yet another reminder of the threat of war on the korean peninsula. small replicas of north korean missiles are on display alongside a giant flower show which opened in pyongyang. flowers celebrate the country's founding leaders, kim il-sung. he is the grandfather of the present leader, kim jong-un.

5:42 am
last year at $30 a share. they still owe taxes of whatever they are worth at the $30 price even though they have yet to realize the gains. they were gambling they would be able to make more money by selling their stock at a higher price and use those proceeds to pay off the tax bill. right now, it is trading at $28 a share. that's a $10 difference. if they are still sitting on those shares, waiting for the proo is to recover, they still owe that tax bill based on the $38 share price. you can do the math. you can see they have nothing to show for it. yet, they owe uncle sam a huge chunk of change. reporting live in the park, bob redell, t"today in the bay." christina loren is back with a borderline spectacular-looking forecast. >> this is that time of year where we get spoiled rotten. it is going to be so nice for all your outdoor plans. count on seeing a lot of people out and about across the bay area on saturday. the wind and the cool weather might keep them in on sunday.
